Willem Dafoe as Marilyn Monroe Will Crack You Up in This Snickers Ad

For all the talent he displays in films such as Platoon, Boondock Saints, and Body of Evidence John Wick, Willem Dafoe isn't inspiring fan requests for him to hop into a skimpy dress. He did it in Boondock Saints, but, well, he's a weird-looking dude. And that's not really why he's great.

Nevertheless, for its big Super Bowl 50 advertising spot, Snickers enlisted the award-winning actor to don a dress again -- but this time, in a truly transformative moment. As with other spots in its ongoing campaign of famous curmudgeons -- including Danny Trejo, Betty White, and Aretha Franklin -- Dafoe displays telltale signs of being hangry on set.

"This is a disaster! Who's the genius who puts a girl in heels on a subway grate?" Dafoe yells.

But the moment a crew member offers up a Snickers and he takes a bite, Dafoe metamorphoses into Marilyn Monroe to act out her unforgettable scene from The Seven Year Itch. All is well. And Eugene Levy even makes a cameo appearance.

"Since we're kicking-off the '50' celebration of one of the world's most iconic events it seemed only fitting to cast Marilyn Monroe, a Hollywood icon with global appeal, to help us celebrate," Snickers Brand director Allison Miazga-Bedrick told AdAge.

The commercial will air during the first quarter of Super Bowl 50 on Sunday, Feb. 7. Watch out for Dafoe then -- if you can ever get the site of his gangly legs in a dress out of your head.
